    <p class="header1">Tutorial - Wrapping Up a Sprint</p>
    <p>Welcome to Tackle! This tutorial will teach you how to use Tackle to wrap up a sprint that your scrum team has completed.</p>
    <hr />
    
    <p class="header2">Section 1 - Completing the Sprint</p>
    <ol>
    <li>From the Tackle homepage, hover over the Sprint menu and select "Complete Sprint". This will take you to the complete sprint page which is used to quickly update the state of each feature that was in the sprint backlog. Using this page will speed up your preparation for the next sprint planning meeting.</li>
    
    <p><img border="0" src="images/tutorial5_1.jpg" /></p>
    
    <li>As long as the sprint is over, the sprint you have just completed will be available in the dropdown list at the top of the page. Select your sprint.</li>
    <li>Each feature that was included in the sprint will appear, showing the information for that feature and a sum of the time for each task in that feature. Punted time is also displayed. Review these values to make sure everything looks right.</li>
    
    <p><img border="0" src="images/tutorial5_2.jpg" /></p>
    
    <li>The final column on the page is a dropdown box which allows you to select an action for that feature. These options are described in detail in the help page. Each feature will have a default choice selected, based on the values in the Actual and Punted columns. Review these default selections and make any changes as needed.</li>
    <li>When you have selected an action for each feature click "Submit". Once everything is submitted only the features with the selected action of "Do Nothing" will remain on the page.</li>
    <li>You are now ready to move on to Section 2 - The Sprint Retrospective.</li>
    </ol>
    
    <hr />
    
    <p class="header2">Section 2 - The Sprint Retrospective</p>
    <ol>
    <li>The Sprint Retrospective is an important part of scrum. It is a chance for the team to talk about what went well, what didn't go well, and to make decisions about what should change before or during the next sprint. To get to the Sprint Retrospective page, hover over the Sprint menu at the top of the page and select "Sprint Retrospective Notes".</li>
    
    <p><img border="0" src="images/tutorial5_3.jpg" /></p>
    
    <li>To enter sprint retrospective data, click the Edit link. The text boxes are now available for data entry.</li>
    
    <p><img border="0" src="images/tutorial5_4.jpg" /></p>
    
    <li>The data in the sprint retrospective fields is often best sorted into bulleted list. The help page provides some bullets for you to copy and paste.</li>
    <li>When you are finished, click "Update" to save your data. You are now ready to move onto Section 3 - The Sprint Review.</li>
    </ol>
    
    <hr />
    
    <p class="header2">Section 3 - The Sprint Review</p>
    <ol>
    <li>The Sprint Review is the last part of the sprint process. It is a chance to talk to the product owners about the sprint and the progress made on their products. Tackle provides a nicely formatted PDF report that sums up all the work completed in the sprint, the sprint totals, the burn down graph and the retrospective notes. To see this report hover over the Sprint menu at the top of the page and select "Sprint Review".</li>
    
    <p><img border="0" src="images/tutorial5_5.jpg" /></p>
    
    <li>Using the navigation arrows at the top of the report, select either the task summaries, sprint totals and burn down graph or the retrospective notes. </li>
    
    <p><img border="0" src="images/tutorial5_6.jpg" /></p>
    
    <li>Use the "Select a Format" dropdown to export to PDF. Click "Export" and open the PDF report. Print that and your sprint is complete!</li>
    </ol>
    
    
    <hr />
    
    <p class="header2">Congratulations!</p>
    <p>Your sprint is now over and you have used Tackle to get through the entire process! It's time to get your product backlogs up-to-date, add some more scheduled sprints and get ready to prioritize all over again! </p>
    <p><b>Good Luck!</b></p>
